Which should you charter?

Pick the Embraer Phenom 300E if you need the extra 1,080 km (583 nm) of range, you are a group of 9 to 10, headroom matters (the cabin is 5 cm taller) and you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 1.3 m longer).

On paper the Hawker 400XP does not lead on any of the figures above. Pick it when one is based closer to your departure airport, which cuts positioning cost and often the total price.

The Hawker 400XP is estimated at $3,900/hr against $4,700/hr for the Embraer Phenom 300E, about $800 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Embraer Phenom 300E saves about 4 minutes per 1,000 km flown. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.

Example trip: the Embraer Phenom 300E can fly London (LTN) to Athens (ATH) nonstop, 2,443 km. The Hawker 400XP would need a fuel stop on that route.

Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
